Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. Offshore engineering encompasses all forms of engineering found on land, but with the added difficulty of often being situated on an isolated structure which has to be self-sufficient to a high degree for energy, food, water, materials, equipment, labour and expertise. Furthermore, this structure is usually located in a very harsh environment ? deep water, heavy seas, severe weather, marine saline atmosphere ? and far away from external assistance and a safe location to escape to should the need arise. Offshore engineers have to live and work in this setting despite these disadvantages and perform their jobs to a very high standard, knowing that there is less margin for error in the unforgiving environment. Mistakes may cost millions of dollars, cause significant pollution or damage to the environment, or lead to injury and even death. Offshore Engineers play a vital role in the delivery of the many complex and challenging projects being developed today and they can do this because of their problem-solving skills. A trained engineer has the ability to model and solve a problem, describe and deliver an economical solution and then supervise and manage the work through to completion.The end product needs to be feasible, economical, safe, delivered on time and to budget, while also being respectful of the environment and not wasteful in use of materials - a tough wish list. All of this takes a special combination of aptitude, knowledge, vision and commitment.This course is designed to introduce participants to the fundamental concepts of offshore engineering. The course will cover the vital activities that the offshore engineer usually performs during an offshore project including the design, construction, operation, maintenance and inspection of offshore structures and subsea pipelines within an offshore oil and gas field.
